Question Lowering 2006 LTZ?

hello!
I have been wanting to lower my '06 LTZ since the day I got it and there is absolutely NOTHING out there for this car! I don't want to cut my springs, and I dont want to pay $1,000+ for coilovers... does anyone know if the lowering spring kits for the SS will work for the LTZ?? or what other options are out there?
heres a picture of her recently, only new thing is i painted spoiler flat black (plasti-dip)
i want to drop an inch maybe inch and a half!

Mods:
-Blacked out emblems and rims
-Flowmaster Super 44's w/res delete & 3" tips

Canuck Motorsports lowering springs. They are what I'm running on my SS and they make a set for the "V6" as they have it named. Vogtland would be the other but I'm not sure as to what they have.

No problem, glad I could help, and thanks for the compliment on the headlights! If you have any other questions let me know. Actually, when I lowered mine I made a thread which might be helpful, here > https://montecarloforum.com/forum/ti...istress-37750/.

I was going to take it to the local NTB to compress the springs for $20 which is the difficult part and then the rest im just going to do in my garage but your thread will definitely help! thanks for the help man!
